My own beloved 2001 Patriots were quite frankly a below average offensive team. Yet their defense and special teams made up for it enough for them to win it all.
2001 Pats is a good example
But it gave Brady what he needed to make him the current John Elway of the NFL. Dangerous as long as there is time on the clock and the ball in his hands.
Mind you, I depsise the Pats (and the Falcons even more so). But what is, is. No point in wishing your team in against the odds (now the Rams are gone, my hopes are with the Steelers, but after today you gotta like NE).
